WASHINGTON Authentic Roberto Luongo Jersey , July 13 (Xinhua) -- Wisconsin State Governor Scott Walker on Monday announced his decision to enter the 2016 U.S. presidential election, becoming the 15th Republican candidate to join the race.

Walker delivered his campaign speech in Waukesha, Wisconsin, Monday afternoon, making such promises as to repeal the Affordable Care Act, commonly known as ObamaCare. He is said to have appeal among GOP conservatives and to be a rival for the Republican front- runner Jeb Bush.

Walker is also one of critics who have suggested the U.S. is offering too many concessions to Tehran in the negotiations for a deal to terminate the decade-old standoff over Iran's nuclear program.

Democrats hit Walker hard before his campaign speech. Earlier in the day Jared McCann Jersey , Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton accused Walker of having made his name by "stomping on workers' rights."

Walker's campaign launch was attended by about 5,000 supporters. The 47-year-old, who is at his second term as governor, will be visiting the state of Nevada Tuesday, South Carolina Wednesday, New Hampshire Thursday and Iowa Friday through Sunday. He will hold at least 10 public events in Iowa alone Jamie McGinn Jersey , according to his campaign team.

Authorities in Xi'an, Shaanxi Province are serious about food - so much that they're releasing official standards on how to make five of the city's most famous dishes.

The home of the Terracotta Warriors is seeking to perfect its most prided snacks, such as the hamburger-like roujiamo, mutton soup and the distinctly-named biangbiang noodles, with the proposed guidelines released Tuesday by the Xi'an Bureau of Quality and Technical Supervision, media reported

The guidelines are a reference on ingredients Radim Vrbata Jersey , cooking technique, shape and color to create the perfect dish, officials said, but are surprisingly precise for what is largely served as street food.

For example, roujiamo, arguably the most famous Xi'an snack food James Reimer Jersey , should be "11.2 centimeters in diameter and 2 centimeters thick, with a fat-to-lean pork ratio of 3.5 to 6.5."

A bureau official said the standards were compiled over a year by chefs at the city's most reputable restaurants.

The bureau is seeking public opinion on the list until December 15, the official added.

The standards didn't exactly go down well on social media. "Who cares whether meat is mixed in the right ratio. Only flavor matters," a netizen commented.

Woman racing drivers have always had to battle to overcome discrimination as well as the challenges of the racing circuit to make it in the profession. Throughout the history of motorsport women have come and gone without making a lasting impression; that was until 26-year-old Danica Patrick became the first woman to ever win an Indy Car race.

When Patrick took the chequered flag at the Twin Ring Motegi in Japan in May 2008, she notched her first win in three years of competition to make motor racing history. However, because breaking her duck was such a long time in coming she had previously been subject to a great deal of criticism from fellow competitors due to the amount of media attention that she attracted. They felt it was disproportionate to her ability Nick Bjugstad Jersey , a claim that has now been put to rest in emphatic fashion.

As well as being a highly accomplished driver Patrick is also not averse to appearing in men鈥檚 magazines such as FHM and the Sports Illustrated Swimwear Edition, and it is that sort of lucrative endorsement that her fellow drivers could not enjoy. In addition to the envy over media attention, some drivers even complained that because of her diminutive size and weight – 5 feet 2 inches and 7 stone 2 pounds respectively – it gave her a racing advantage. Again that accusation has been debunked as her first race won was run in the year when the rules were changed to take the driver鈥檚 weight into account when calculating the racing weights.

After her historic win a change of competition may be beckoning for Patrick as Honda are rumoured to be lining her up for Formula One testing later in 2008, meaning that UK motor racing fans could be watching her compete in F1 against the likes of Lewis Hamilton in the 2009 season.

However, for many women the success of Patrick comes as no surprise. They will point out that car insurance for women tends to be cheaper than for men for a very good reason; namely that women are better drivers. Of course, that comment will spark a lot of debate! The reason for lower premiums for women is that they cause fewer accidents than men and are therefore considered a better risk. But Connor Brickley Jersey , as many men will point out that may result from women being 鈥榦ver-cautious鈥?behind the wheel or driving a lot less than men, rather than merely being 鈥榖etter鈥?drivers.

However, regardless of the relative merits of men versus women behind the wheel one woman, Danica Patrick, has proved that she can successfully compete against men and indeed beat them when she gets behind the wheel of an Indy Car.
